AI Security Forum
6 months since Vegas'25

Six months of acceleration across AI security — tracked through the people, papers, tools, and ventures that emerged from the AI Security Forum community.

AI Security Forum Aug 7 2025 → Feb 2026 ~200 participants

On August 7, 2025, roughly 200 researchers, engineers, and policymakers gathered alongside DEF CON 33 for a single-day forum on securing AI systems. In the six months since, this community shipped open-source offensive tools, disclosed the first AI-orchestrated cyber espionage campaign, raised over $100 million in combined funding, and pushed hardware governance from theory papers into bipartisan legislation. What follows tracks every significant development — organized six different ways (each tab offers a different organization of participants' recent contributions).
